It was John Quincy Adams, the sixth U.S. president, who said: "always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost."

We here at MLive Media Group, across our 10 hubs, have worked to compile a comprehensive statewide voter guide to help Adams' words ring true in your heart. This year's guide includes the presidential election, U.S. congressional and state House races, as well as other state, county and local races.

With our voter guide, you can see what each candidate -- local and state -- stands for, their opinions, past experience and opinions from their own mouth. The guide also includes state and local ballot proposals.

To check it out, head to MLive.com/VoterGuide. You can enter in you street address, city and zip to take a closer look at the elections most pertinent to you.

This is where you can personally analyze candidates stacked against each other for comparative reasons.
